Natalie is a three-year-old Russian Blue mix. Long haired and slight of build, she was found abandoned, hungry pregnant and scared in someone's back yard. Everyone who has met and cared for Natalie has fallen in love with her. Natalie talks to you, is very smart, knows where her toys are, and will even tell you when she wants to play. We were certain that Natalie would find a forever home very quickly since everything seemed so perfect - she is so gentle and loving.

With Ziva. Her name means brilliance, and Ziva has a bright, sparkly personality. This grey & white beauty hails from Slavic Village. Ziva was born in April of 2011 and was found living alone under a tool shed. A nice family rescued her and called the PAWS hotline.

Say hello to Huey, a tabby & white short haired male kitten. Huey is part of a family we call the "Donald Duck" litter. Born in early September, Huey and siblings were found motherless, and hand raised by PAWS volunteers. The other babies are: Dewey, a solid black short haired male; Louie, a black and white short haired male, and; Daisy, a black and white short haired female.

The Public Animal Welfare Society of Ohio (PAWS) is hosting an adopt-a-thon Saturday with reduced rates on animal adoptions.

Booths will be up at the Mayfield Heights PetSmart (1521 Golden Gate Plaza) from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. to adopt cats, kittens, dogs and puppies. Adoptions include all shots and spaying/neutering. Adoption screeners will be on hand to approve adoptions so animals can be taken home the same day.

And I think to myself - Louie & Chu Chu need a purrfect home today! These two beautiful gray tabby boys are young, between 1-1.5 years of age. They are being fostered together and absolutely adore each other. Louie is a tad bit shy but absolutely craves attention. After his initial jumpiness, he just wants to be loved and petted. Louie's very playful and gets along so well with other cats, particularly Chu Chu.
